Large seismogenic faults consist of approximately meter-thick fault cores surrounded by
hundreds-of-meters-thick damage zones. Earthquakes are generated by rupture …

Models for hydraulic fracturing–induced earthquakes in shales typically ascribe fault
activation to elevated pore pressure or increased shear stress; however, these mechanisms …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

The structure, frictional properties and permeability of faults within carbonate rocks exhibit a
dynamic interplay that controls both seismicity and the exchange of fluid between different …

The thermal damage evolution of rock closely relates to many important scientific and
engineering problems, such as the mechanisms of earthquake and the effective extraction of …

Pyrite is the most common authigenic mineral preserved in many ancient sedimentary rocks.
Pyrite also widely exists in the Longmaxi and Wufeng marine shales in the middle Yangtze …

Shear zone is widely observed in natural faults and landslides as well as laboratory
experiments on granular material. Understanding the shear-zone evolution process in …

Fractures and faults riddle the Earth's crust on all scales, and the deformation associated
with them is presumed to have had significant effects on its petrological and structural …

Natural fault zones are complex, spatially heterogeneous systems. Rock deformation
experimental studies simplify the complexity of natural fault zones either as a surface …

Empirically based rate‐and‐state friction laws (RSFLs) have been proposed to model the
dependence of friction forces with slip and time. The relevance of the RSFL for earthquake …
